    This is very similar to his playing of fortunate son.

    He watched the movie and though the fire-murder guy was a badass.

    (Or more likely, he never watched the movie).

    I just realised he doesn’t make these himself (or come up with them). But still. Asshole.

      Yeah, probably not a great idea on Chi-Raq. If anywhere were to put forth a united resistance it’s the place with a history of running the police or if the city with armed force.

        There will be elections. All autocrats love elections. Being reelected with 90+ % just feels too good to not have them.

      All that’s going to do is switch out him for his successor in the party. All of these things are things the party has been working for, such as declaring martial law and locking people up without habeas corpus, disappearing them, including citizens. Without addressing a lack of an opposition that can win in the face of election rigging 2028 won’t change anything except perhaps a leader that is not quite so stupid about doing the exact same things.

              There will be a big fight in the viper nest for it in any case, that is the maybe one chance to unseat the party before it is too rigged to overcome, but it would need to be a popular candidate running a reform campaign.

              Newsom will not walk with presidency, he had his chance in 2024 when he could have won but waited his turn like a bitch.

              But I digress. Idk who ends with supreme leader but it will make things worse not better, half as mean and twice as smart and the country will get sliced up by the megacorps and parasitical biz dickheads.

    The last time this obese imbecile was that slim was deep in the last fucking millennium. Which was also when it was the last time he could squat like that, useless cunt.
    If he tried to squat like that today he’d shit himself 4 times on the way down and then roll over like a hog in even more shit.

    Fuck sake, What type of bunch of fools could ever vote for this buffoon? Hang your head in shame.

      Like pretty much every character in the film, the character Trump is cosplaying as has been driven insane by an insane war.

          “Redux” is the extended cut, which has ~45 extra minutes of stuff that was cut from the original theatrical release. Some of the scenes are great, but some could have been left on the cutting room floor. “The Final Cut” is basically the definitive extended version.

      One time there was a heat wave in my city, and I don’t have air conditioning at home. The movie theater was playing apocalypse now, I think it was the directors cut. It was 3 hours long so I bought a ticket because I wanted 3 hours of air conditioning. I had no idea what a great movie I was stumbling into! It was about war and how horrific it is.

        Going in neutral without expectations is the best way to enjoy a movie in my opinion, there’s a indie theatre near my home that mostly plays older classics from US and around the world. I’ve had my mind blown by movies that came out decades ago, good movies age very well

        We just got it on DVD. It’s the “Redux” edition. 3 hours 22 mins. It’s the 6th longest movie in our collection behind LoTR extendeds, Beh-Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia.

      I dunno, his government tracks so far with what I remember of the film.

      1. Feeling of Endless Hell
      2. Waiting for it to be over
      3. Everyone dying or in pain, in some cases at the hands of their own stupidity
      4. Pretty much the only person who gets what they want is the one main character leading the thing
      5. Swamp

        What about them ? Jay “Chef” Hicks
        Lance B. Johnson
        Roxanne Sarrault

        I asked the machine, here is what it said

        Jay "Chef" Hicks	Cowardice, instability, disloyalty, inability to cope with war.
        Lance B. Johnson	Emotional detachment, negligence, descent into madness.
        Roxanne Sarrault	Colonial arrogance, moral ambiguity, emotional manipulation.
        

        I have a hard time calling them pieces of shit for that. Seems normal to me to refuse to play the game of war and recognizing military duty as the infectious spook that it is.

      Insurrection is grounds to declare martial law, remove those in power, and halt elections. He has to push hard enough to force people to fight back.

          There will be an activity called an election. It won’t be free, or fair, or allow everyone to vote. The simplest method would be restricting voting locations to those deemed ‘safe from insurrection’ aka counties that voted for Trump.

      Two comments, and I know this is now old news: it’s insane to see someone/somegroup get SO pissy for being hit with a soft, non-lethal projectile; and while I understand how he was likely carrying it, upon further review the clip above seems to show that this man is a sandwich-mancer and can summon subs from thin air.

      I don’t normally like to use the AI summary of a search, but this one was funny: Force of rubber bullet vs sandwich

      I’m glad they failed to indict him, and I hope he finds success in another place.
